Hey, and one of us (i.e. one of me :-) is still a current
VMS consultant !


VMS - when downtime is not an option.


If you need any job control language writing I'm your man! It's been a
good few years but I'm sure the VMS grey cells are still there under
the
dust :-)
Getting way off topic now, but I once wrote a very large JCL program
to
monitor and regulate the system, run various jobs, backups, reports
etc.
I even gave it it's own username space to run in "Marvin". It would
monitor and log off idle users and send messages to appropriate people
saying printers had run out of paper etc. It got quite chatty with one
user one day and they phoned up the I.T. dept asking to speak to
Marvin
:-)


... the Paranoid Android?


You're showing your age.


:-) I'm not denying the age, but I've discovered the Hitchhiker only
about a year ago, when the new fillum (as they say here in Ireland)
came to the big screen. It wasn't part of my youth's pop culture, as
it took place away from the British Isles.
I've read the books since, and enjoyed them - though less than Terry
Pratchet's - but that's even further off topic than we've ventured so
far.

So I could be, really, really, really young... at heart... really...
honest.

Ah ha - now that's an idea. An electric hoe like those electric grass
mowers....one that has a camera and a whole database of which plants are
weeds and which ones are plant seedlings just emerging :~)

maybe actually try to learn dreamweaver or similar. Ive got plenty of
time to learn, I am only 20 after all.


I use Dreamweaver, it's expensive but very easy - no need for codes (here
the IT purists will find objections but why make things more difficult than
they can be?)

I wonder if the laser technology for unwanted hair removal could be
adapted...


It doesn't work.


Laser hair removal?


Yes. Believe me, I spent a lot of money on it.

Oh, good. I'll keep going with the old razor
then ;-)


I still use tweezers, don't like 5 o-clock shadow :-)
